There is no reason to doubt the grounds mentioned in paragraph no.2 of the application for condonation of delay. It's a matter of liberty of a citizens and I propose to adopt a pragmatic view. This Court has already considered the appeal of co-accused on merits. Hence, I am inclined to allow the application. 4.
